Dirtiest prank you ever played on a sibling?
I was just talking to my younger sister, and she brought up this nasty joke I pulled on her and my youngest sister.

This was back in the mid 1970's, some Frankenstein movie on TV.
Dr Frankenstein opens a cabinet, and a disembodied arm that he's brought to life, falls out of it and crawls across the floor.
Scared the SHIT out of my younger sisters, who had insisted on watching the movie even though my parents and I had warned them it would scare them.

Later, when it was time for them to go to bed, they were still scared, and had to have the hall light on.
(They both slept in a queen-sized bed at that time.)

What no one knew was that I was under the bed, having snuck in earlier.
So in that half-light, Mona and Gina see my arm "crawl" out from under the bed.

My parents, hearing the screaming, rush into their bedroom, find them screaming and crying, and can hear me laughing my ass off, under the bed.
(Yes, my Mom warmed my behind.)

To this day, even 30 years later, if I see Mona or Gina off-guard, and "crawl" my arm toward them, they jump. :D

1. Do not read if easily offended. When I was about 14 I awoke
in the middle of the night to the sound of my kid brother rummaging around in our bedroom closet. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness I could see him taking a magazine from under the junk piled on the shelf. He sat cross legged on his bed, pulled the covers over himself creating a kind of tent, and turned on a flashlight. I could see his image through the blanket as he turned the magazine pages and did the nasty with himself. I could tell by his movements and the sounds he made when he had reached the point of no return. At that instant I screamed as loud as I could "mom, come quick, Earl's sick". My brother ruined his Playboy and redecorated a portion of the wall as my mother and father burst into the room. We both got a beating, my brother for his heinous sin and me for, as my dad put it, " being such a little prick".

2. LOL!
Oh man, like me, you probably consider the pain of the whopping you got a small price to pay for nailing your little brother.

3. The Air Rifle Trick
My brother the freeper saved up all his money for months and months to get an air rifle. He went to the store and bought his air rifle and lots of bee-bees to shoot in it. Then he drank a lot of cokes so he'd have something to shoot it at. (There was a nice hill in the front yard for a backstop, and shooting air rifles in my town was legal.)

Me being the wise older brother, I confided to him...

"Nice air rifle. You know why they're called air rifles, right?"
'No, why?'
"Because you have to take them to the gas station and put air in them so they'll shoot. See? (pointing at a fitting on the bottom of it) That's where you put the air."

He fucking did it! Walked all the way to the gas station carrying his air rifle so he could blow it up before he shot it.

4. Christmas when Tickle Me Elmo was popular
Mid or late 1990s. Anyway, Mom had sent my brother, Jason, and me to Toys R Us to pick up a few last minute gifts for her grandkids. This was either Xmas Eve or Xmas Eve Eve so desperation was in the air. Nothing that we were getting was going to be hard to find though - some sort of colored sand sculpture thing and a video game. Now when you go to Toys R Us to get a video game, you just pick up a shiny piece of cardboard with the game name on it and the barcodes, and you pay for it at the register then stand in another line with your receipt to get the actual game.

Jason and I were standing in this line, having paid for the other stuff. The line ran perpendicular to the regular cashier lines so we were able to face the people who were checking out. After a few minutes of waiting, he took the sack from me and said, "I'm going to go wait in the car." So I said - loudly, "OKAY! YOU TAKE THE TICKLE ME ELMOS TO THE CAR, AND I'LL GET THE VIDEO GAME!"

The noise level dropped to absolutely nothing. People in the video game line turned to look at us; the people buying toys stopped and stared at us, and even the cashiers were looking at us in wonderment. Some of the people in line smiled at me because they got the joke, but most of them were looking at us with crazed desperation in their eyes. My brother called me some un-Xmas-like names, claiming he was going to get mugged on his way out.

I found him sitting in the car, scrunched down, with the doors locked. :)

A couple of Christmases before that, I had accompanied my sister to Toys R Us to look for Barbies for her daughter, and I walked up and down the aisle loudly wondering where "Shoplifter Barbie" and "Phone Sex Barbie" were because according to me, that's what my niece wanted. Sister was embarrassed, but all the parents thought it was funny because they probably hated Barbie and hated having to find just the right one.

My other sister has never needed training to realize it's not a good idea to go shopping with me. :)

7. Nope
We all have wacky senses of humor, but I've never been burdened with a problem of being embarrassed or embarrassing others in public. It keeps them in line. :)

Oh, I just remembered a couple of months ago, we all went to Mom's house, and I went with one of my sisters to the store to pick up some ice cream. I was in the car when she was walking in, and just as she got to the automatic doors, I yelled, "Susan! Get some ice cream!" She turned, but she activated the doors which opened right when she yelled back at me and also into the store, "I'm getting some damn ice cream!"

9. I pulled a dandy on my Mom too.
She had over a few years ago a frined who hadn't seen her in a couple decades.

The friend remarked how tall I had grown, and I'm standing next to Mom, who is a full foot shorter than me.

I couldn't resist a straight line.

"Mom, wasn't your milkman kind of tall?"

*POW!*

The bruise took about 2 weeks to heal. :D

11. Oh, well.. if you want to talk about embarrassing Mom...
I was a wrestler in high school my junior and senior years. At one of our home matches, it was parents' night where the seniors parents come out and are introduced, and the moms are given a rose by their sons. When the ceremony started (there were only 3 seniors), my mom had stepped outside to have a smoke so I went up to the announcer (my history teacher) and asked him to do me a favor when Mom came back into the gym.

When Mom entered, the announcer boomed, "And now... entering the gym, Neva W, mother of James W!" At which point I walked up to Mom and gave her her rose. She was a little red, but she was also laughing.

15. Oh, good grief...
You're taking this much too seriously. We were not in danger at all. The joke was on the other shoppers as much as it was on my brother. Trust me - I was there, and I sized up the situation pretty well considering that 95% of the other shoppers were middle-aged housewives, and it was the few men in the lines that got that I was joking right off. And no, I didn't get the opportunity to frisk them to make sure they weren't packing heat. Just let it go.

5. My Freeper Brother
Had a little locked money box. I'd pick the lock daily, remove a little money for a few days and replace it and then some on a regular basis.

He was considering attending a math class during summer school to learn how to count accurately for a while.

17. well...
I have a small one, but the payback was much, much worse.

One day when I was probably 9 or 10, I was having some friends over and wanted to bring them up to my room. My mother said I had to clean the room first. So instead of actually tidying up, I just took everything that was laying on the floor and stuck it in my twin sister's room, right across the hall. She was pissed.

So.... I had bad allergies as a kid, and she had a particular cologne that always made me sneeze. So, she sprayed some on my pillow that evening. I didn't smell it.

In the middle of the night, my parents (luckily) heard me gasping for breath - I had a horrible allergic reaction and couldn't breathe. I was hospitalized for 5 days.

My sister never said a word until a few years ago. We laugh about it now, but can you imagine how awful she felt? She thought she'd killed me.

18. People claim there's no such thing as allergies to perfume
I wish one of the night janitors would lay off the stuff. Every time she walks past my entire respiratory system seizes up.

Personally, I think it's some sort of Autistic Spectrum thing.

How was yours diagnosed?

I don't suffer from any allergies today.

But as a child, I had asthma, but outgrew it by age 4. But I always had horrible allergies in the springtime. I'd get pneumonia almost every year, often needing hospitalization. It was ME who realized that it occurred at the same time every year, and I mentioned it to my parents. They took me to an allergist, who discovered I was allergic to damn near everything that blooms.

About 15 years of allergy shots, coupled with growing up and moving to California seems to have fixed the problem. I haven't had an allergy to anything in my adult life.

Even the things that USED to set me off don't do so now: cut grass, lilacs... all seem to have gone away. I still have an instant aversion to those things, even though it's been over 25 years since I've reacted badly.

Lilacs still scare me, and I refuse to have a lawn.

20. In progress as we speak
Many moons ago, my siblings and I posed for a Hallowe'en picture. My youngest brother wore my clothes and was a girl for the day.

Anyway, I found the photo at the folks' place and showed it to my youngest brother...he said don't show this picture to anyone, me dressed up as a girl.

My oldest brother came by the folks place another day and said, oh, boy I can't wait to show this to the boys , youngest brother in drag. He took the picture and had it scanned.

It is going around the world as we speak....
